2,500 days since last home win vs. top 10. I thought TCU was top 4 last year?

A little dose of fake news. That stat was quite convenient and wrong. I felt like a loser, but we manhandled them. This wasn't anything like the 2011 upset game, which they also mentioned and rubbed in our face.

"This is the biggest win for this program since Oklahoma State on a Thursday Night 6 years ago"

I was shook.

I know there was a general statement that it was the biggest win at ISU in a 'very long time'.

If almost a year (TCU) is a very long time I guess.

That was the first 2nd-week of October 5pm kickoff win over a top 7 team after 5 straight days of rain and the humidity is over 20% but under 70% since 1924
Exactly what I was talking to my wife about when that stat came on. My example to her was that it was under 55 degrees with a wind between 5 and 15 mph.

How many opportunities have there been to beat a top 10, at home, at night in that period of time?

Yea, it was a disingenuous comment.
Maybe he was trying to make it seem like he walked us thru a historic event. Whatever the reason, somebody behind the scenes had to do some digging.
Heck, if you really wanna be impressed, it was the first time ever, EVER, that Iowa State beat a ranked team...while wearing black.

Yeah the comment pissed me off. Brando is better than that, and disappointing he didn’t do the 2 seconds of research it would have taken to know about our impressive 12 month resume.
